ABSTRACT:
A steam iron comprises control device(s) for adjusting temperature and steam generation. The soleplate is heated with a heating element controlled by a control circuit which compares the desired temperature with the temperature of the soleplate measured with a temperature sensor. Steam is generated by transporting water from a water tank to a steam chamber which is thermally coupled to the soleplate. The control circuit adapts the power of the heating element upon activation of the steam generator in anticipation of the expected cooling down of the soleplate as a result of the transport of the water to be evaporated to the steam chamber.
